The Florida Atlantic women’s basketball team kicked off its Conference USA tournament run on Tuesday — International Women’s Day — facing off against the No. 13 seed University of North Texas Mean Green.

After trailing by as many as 12 in the first half, the Owls (14-16, 6-12 C-USA) nearly completed a furious comeback in the fourth quarter.
